What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

and also the drain plug... I use royal purple MAX ATF in mine with no problems... I also tend to hear a lot of good things about valvoline.

personally I like to minimize the "high mileage additives" I put in my truck... even tho it already has a ton of miles anyway.

 

Ok I found it snap ring part number is 9052027023 and The snap ring flange spacer is 9056027005 for those who are interested

 

Got some crazy flex cause I'm insane

 

I drove it 2400 miles ish. 1000 of that all dirt.

Was a good two weeks.

 

Random question but how are you removing the main body of the manual hub? I'm trying to rebuild a set but the main body is really stuck on there. In the past I've used a hammer and tap around then a spackle knife but I've misplaced my spackle knife now.

 

Found these 2014 17" FJ Wheels on craigslist so I upgraded.

 

It's also worth a photo credit

San Francisco, a hippie jam band concert and hung over.

 

I took off the dial part and unbolted the hub. The cone washers on the hub itself are a bitch to get out, a compo of hammering with a rubber mallet and pliers did the trick for me

 

The fsm says to hit the studs with a brass punch to knock the cone washers out. i couldnt get that to work, so I smacked the side of the hub body next to each washer. It deforms the holes a little bit, which sucks.

 

Some of my washers have a little ledge on them from someone hammering them so I can get a flat head under it and persuade it a little more forcefully

 

does anyone know the part number for the upstream o2 sensor? I have been getting the P0031 error code and want to fix it this weekend. It's an 04 v6 automatic 4x4

 

My 02 V6 upstream O2 is Denso part#

$146 234-9001 Upstream Air Fuel Ratio Oxygen Sensor with 10.6” 4-Wire Harness, for Auto Trans Equipped Vehicles

234-9001.

I bought it from O'Reilly's. High dollar part. Make sure your cat converter isn't stopping up, as this leads to premature O2 failure.

I got mine from Amazon

 

Nice nice!

 

Had KO2's installed on Saturday. Loving them a whole lot so far. Went from Toyo Open Country 285x70x17 to these BFG's at 275x70x17. The 285s didn't rub a whole lot, but enough to annoy me at times. I have 0 issues with 275 and they aren't too much smaller.

 

Found some mud after a heavy rain here in NorCal.

 

Ewwy gewwwy goodness inside and out today
